My Story: How I Became an Entrepreneur and How Entrepreneurship Saved My Life. Not everyone is meant for Entrepreneurship but in my case, it was the only option.
My Entrepreneur Story is different than most. I started and failed entrepreneurship multiple times in my life, but my success as an entrepreneur was largely a matter of survival and a struggle with my own mindset and depression.
In overcoming adversity and those struggles I learned discipline and self-reliance that entrepreneurship requires.

What’s common to most movements of dissent, is that they don’t stay pure for long. Art curator and cultural critic NatoThompson uses gaming to show how the anti-establishment ethos within those games has been commandeered by the very thing it sought to stick it to: “the man”. The same goes for big corporations like Coca Cola and Apple, who position themselves as the ordinary human. Institutions use dissenting art and culture to ensure profits. “The spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment,” says Thompson, and he perceives that as a broad phenomenon. America, especially in 2017, is deeply anti-establishment. Thompson wonders whether that once-useful ethos has tipped over from constructive to destructive. Nato Thompson’s most recent book is Culture as Weapon: The Art of Influence in Everyday Life (goo.gl/SFMVjI).

I don't know if you've ever played video games but I play a lot of them. And there's a certain kind of ethos that's in a lot of video games, particularly those games like Call of Duty and the first person shooter games that it's important to pay attention to because I feel like they really hit the spirit of the age. Or even games like Grand Theft Auto, these are the biggest selling video games by the way. They're like Beyoncé of video games. But in those games basically you're this fighter who everyone has betrayed. Like the U.S. military betrays you, your family betrays you, everyone is out to get you, and even your close military buddy or whoever. The storylines are always that ultimately everyone is screwing you. And certainly it is a safe position for a video game because it's safe across the entire ideological spectrum. But I also think it pinpoints a certain kind of mood of the era that antiestablishment runs deep across so many currents and everyone's got their idea of who the man is.
You look at even like a Coca-Cola ad and they'll encourage you to go in your cubicle and throw out your papers and get out there and just be free. And so even like corporate America is encouraging us to fight the man. Like you even look at like the Mac ads and they've got like it's like do you remember those old ads and it was like the dweebish PC computer guy and then the Mac guy was like this kind of Red Hot Chili Peppers hipster kid and he's like hey. He's the individual; it's freedom. But I think even then even the spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment. And so just to say because these big video games like Call of Duty they're mega industries, they're not like some scrappy antiestablishment thing. They've got people that work on it the size of major films like Jurassic Park, big money. But everyone's anti-establishment and certainly the mood in this country is deeply antiestablishment. I think while true, it makes it very difficult to build things in that particular psychological climate.

Samut has taken over as my humans tribal commander. She has added a color, some aggression, and a lot of synergy to an already fun deck. Most people can see the tribal synergies but I'm in love with the taste of combo that humans bring. You can also be rewarded for your powerful turns because Samut grants haste. The manabase can be a little tricky because the deck skews so hard into white. That is why I have a lot of dual lands that are W/G and W/R but not G/R. There are so many possible cards for this deck. I hope that some of my choices sparks your curiosity.

Sony cancelled the theatrical release for The Interview, giving into the "Guardians of Peace" hacking group that is somehow related to North Korea. But what does this surrender really say?

Terrorizing DissentPart 3And Then They Came For The AnarchistsThe Election Cut
Glass Bead Collective, Twin CitiesIndymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
"If civil disobedience becomes framed as 'terrorism' ... that's baloney. And the reason they're waving the T-word around, there's one reason and one reason only, because they want to squash dissent and they want to justify what the police do in the effort of squashing that dissent."
MichelleGross, Communities UnitedAgainstPolice Brutality
'Terrorizing Dissent' shows the results of the $50 million dollars the Department of Homeland Security gave to local authorities for security — a large chunk of which went to weaponize the police — and the $10 million insurance policy contract between the RNCHost Committee and the City of St. Paul, which shattered Minnesota's civil compact between protesters and police.
Effectively, the Republican National Committee provided financial cover for the widespread, organized suppression of dissent. The FBI and Secret Service coordinated with local police to raid homes and work spaces before the RNC even began. On the streets, the government's intimidation strategy shut down peaceful protests through the heavy use of tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, rubber bullets, and other projectiles. This excessive use of force followed months of harassment and surveillance of community activists. At every stage, local officials have refused to release the documentation behind what they did, from the origins of dubious search warrants to joint powers agreements.
The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Creative Commons

Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees. Wikipedia uses one of these licenses.

Historically, the convention was the final determinant of the nomination, and often contentious as various factions of party insiders maneuvered to advance their candidates. Since the almost universal adoption of the primary election for selecting delegates in the last quarter of the 20th century, however, the convention's significance has diminished. The national party focuses on the convention as a unity point to bring together a party platform and state parties by having delegates vote on issues, which the nominee can then incorporate into their presidential campaign.

Justice Clarence Thomas’ head-scratching, jaw-dropping dissents

In this week’s fiery dissents to Supreme Court rulings on the Affordable Care Act and same-sex marriage, Justice Antonin Scalia has introduced much of the world to his sputtering fury and creative word choices — employing “jiggery pokery” and “mummeries,” for instance.
But just because Justice Clarence Thomas has a reputation for staying silent on the bench, doesn’t mean the polarizing conservative didn’t apply his own brand of knotty logic in his written dissent of the court’s rulings.

Blackout Ep. 4: Leaks from Eritrea, Africa's North Korea

Eritrea is the most censored country in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Sans Frontières. Often referred to as Africa's North Korea, the Eritrean government controls the flow of information with vigilance, restricting any dissenting voices from reaching the people.
As a result, Eritrean activists are forced to get creative. Through pirate radio, cold calls, messages on banknotes and posters put up in the dead of night, dissidents find ways to generate the only resistance they can.
VICENews follows members of the Eritrean diaspora community in Europe as they run radio stations, maintain online opposition sites and help to organize those still in Eritrea.

Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ license.
Dissent is a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or opposition to a prevailing idea (e.g., a government's policies) or an entity (e.g., an individual or political party which supports such policies). The term's antonyms include agreement, consensus (when all or nearly all parties agree on something) and consent, when one party agrees to a proposition made by another.
In some political systems, dissent may be formally expressed by way of opposition politics, while politically repressive regimes may prohibit any form of dissent, leading to suppression of dissent and the encouragement of social or political activism. Individuals who do not conform or support the policies of certain states are known as "dissidents". Several thinkers have argued that a healthy society needs not only to protect, but also to encourage dissent.
In a 1843 letter to Arnold Ruge, Karl Marx wrote: "if constructing the future and settling everything for all times are not our affair, it is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring to ruthless criticism of all that exists, ruthless both in the sense of not being afraid of the results it arrives at and in the sense of being just as little afraid of conflict with the powers that be".

Today we're playing Public Enemy, a game where you act according to the preferences of the guards while they're looking, and dissenting when they're not. The goal is to stealthily direct enough attention into the revolution that there is enough to overthrow a dictator. Sounds intense, but it's really silly and I suck at it.

The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Justice Clarence Thomas’ head-scratching, jaw-dropping dissents

In this week’s fiery dissents to Supreme Court rulings on the Affordable Care Act and same-sex marriage, Justice Antonin Scalia has introduced much of the world to his sputtering fury and creative word choices — employing “jiggery pokery” and “mummeries,” for instance.
But just because Justice Clarence Thomas has a reputation for staying silent on the bench, doesn’t mean the polarizing conservative didn’t apply his own brand of knotty logic in his written dissent of the court’s rulings.

Entrepreneurship Saved My Life: Why I Became a Creative Entrepreneur

My Story: How I Became an Entrepreneur and How Entrepreneurship Saved My Life. Not everyone is meant for Entrepreneurship but in my case, it was the only option.
My Entrepreneur Story is different than most. I started and failed entrepreneurship multiple times in my life, but my success as an entrepreneur was largely a matter of survival and a struggle with my own mindset and depression.
In overcoming adversity and those struggles I learned discipline and self-reliance that entrepreneurship requires.

What Video Games Teach Us About U.S. Anti-Establishmentarianism | Nato Thompson

What’s common to most movements of dissent, is that they don’t stay pure for long. Art curator and cultural critic NatoThompson uses gaming to show how the anti-establishment ethos within those games has been commandeered by the very thing it sought to stick it to: “the man”. The same goes for big corporations like Coca Cola and Apple, who position themselves as the ordinary human. Institutions use dissenting art and culture to ensure profits. “The spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment,” says Thompson, and he perceives that as a broad phenomenon. America, especially in 2017, is deeply anti-establishment. Thompson wonders whether that once-useful ethos has tipped over from constructive to destructive. Nato Thompson’s most recent book is Culture as Weapon: The Art of Infl...

Samut Voice of Dissent Commander Deck Tech

Samut has taken over as my humans tribal commander. She has added a color, some aggression, and a lot of synergy to an already fun deck. Most people can see the tribal synergies but I'm in love with the taste of combo that humans bring. You can also be rewarded for your powerful turns because Samut grants haste. The manabase can be a little tricky because the deck skews so hard into white. That is why I have a lot of dual lands that are W/G and W/R but not G/R. There are so many possible cards for this deck. I hope that some of my choices sparks your curiosity.

Sony & The Interview - This is Why We Need Satire

Sony cancelled the theatrical release for The Interview, giving into the "Guardians of Peace" hacking group that is somehow related to North Korea. But what does this surrender really say? What is the point of art, movies and creative efforts , and why is it necessary to society that we have the ability to say things some people will probably dislike? Kim Horcher explains why we need dissenting (even silly) voices, and why silencing them is a recipe for disaster in the NerdRage.

Blackout Ep. 4: Leaks from Eritrea, Africa's North Korea

Eritrea is the most censored country in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Sans Frontières. Often referred to as Africa's North Korea, the Eritrean government controls the flow of information with vigilance, restricting any dissenting voices from reaching the people.
As a result, Eritrean activists are forced to get creative. Through pirate radio, cold calls, messages on banknotes and posters put up in the dead of night, dissidents find ways to generate the only resistance they can.
VICENews follows members of the Eritrean diaspora community in Europe as they run radio stations, maintain online opposition sites and help to organize those still in Eritrea.

HOW TO REBEL - Public Enemy

Today we're playing Public Enemy, a game where you act according to the preferences of the guards while they're looking, and dissenting when they're not. The goal is to stealthily direct enough attention into the revolution that there is enough to overthrow a dictator. Sounds intense, but it's really silly and I suck at it.

I don't know if you've ever played video games but I play a lot of them. And there's a certain kind of ethos that's in a lot of video games, particularly those games like Call of Duty and the first person shooter games that it's important to pay attention to because I feel like they really hit the spirit of the age. Or even games like Grand Theft Auto, these are the biggest selling video games by the way. They're like Beyoncé of video games. But in those games basically you're this fighter who everyone has betrayed. Like the U.S. military betrays you, your family betrays you, everyone is out to get you, and even your close military buddy or whoever. The storylines are always that ultimately everyone is screwing you. And certainly it is a safe position for a video game because it's safe across the entire ideological spectrum. But I also think it pinpoints a certain kind of mood of the era that antiestablishment runs deep across so many currents and everyone's got their idea of who the man is.
You look at even like a Coca-Cola ad and they'll encourage you to go in your cubicle and throw out your papers and get out there and just be free. And so even like corporate America is encouraging us to fight the man. Like you even look at like the Mac ads and they've got like it's like do you remember those old ads and it was like the dweebish PC computer guy and then the Mac guy was like this kind of Red Hot Chili Peppers hipster kid and he's like hey. He's the individual; it's freedom. But I think even then even the spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment. And so just to say because these big video games like Call of Duty they're mega industries, they're not like some scrappy antiestablishment thing. They've got people that work on it the size of major films like Jurassic Park, big money. But everyone's anti-establishment and certainly the mood in this country is deeply antiestablishment. I think while true, it makes it very difficult to build things in that particular psychological climate.

Most people can see the tribal synergies but I'm in love with the taste of combo that humans bring. You can also be rewarded for your powerful turns because Samut grants haste.

Kim Horcher explains why we need dissenting (even silly) voices, and why silencing them is a recipe for disaster in the NerdRage.

Terrorizing DissentPart 3And Then They Came For The AnarchistsThe Election Cut
Glass Bead Collective, Twin CitiesIndymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
"If civil disobedience becomes framed as 'terrorism' ... that's baloney. And the reason they're waving the T-word around, there's one reason and one reason only, because they want to squash dissent and they want to justify what the police do in the effort of squashing that dissent."
MichelleGross, Communities UnitedAgainstPolice Brutality
'Terrorizing Dissent' shows the results of the $50 million dollars the Department of Homeland Security gave to local authorities for security — a large chunk of which went to weaponize the police — and the $10 million insurance policy contract between the RNCHost Committee and the City of St. Paul, which shattered Minnesota's civil compact between protesters and police.
Effectively, the Republican National Committee provided financial cover for the widespread, organized suppression of dissent. The FBI and Secret Service coordinated with local police to raid homes and work spaces before the RNC even began. On the streets, the government's intimidation strategy shut down peaceful protests through the heavy use of tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, rubber bullets, and other projectiles. This excessive use of force followed months of harassment and surveillance of community activists. At every stage, local officials have refused to release the documentation behind what they did, from the origins of dubious search warrants to joint powers agreements.
The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Eritrea is the most censored country in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Sans Frontières. Often referred to as Africa's North Korea, the Eritrean government controls the flow of information with vigilance, restricting any dissenting voices from reaching the people.
As a result, Eritrean activists are forced to get creative. Through pirate radio, cold calls, messages on banknotes and posters put up in the dead of night, dissidents find ways to generate the only resistance they can.
VICENews follows members of the Eritrean diaspora community in Europe as they run radio stations, maintain online opposition sites and help to organize those still in Eritrea.

Dissent is a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or opposition to a prevailing idea (e.g., a government's policies) or an entity (e.g., an individual or political party which supports such policies). The term's antonyms include agreement, consensus (when all or nearly all parties agree on something) and consent, when one party agrees to a proposition made by another.
In some political systems, dissent may be formally expressed by way of opposition politics, while politically repressive regimes may prohibit any form of dissent, leading to suppression of dissent and the encouragement of social or political activism. Individuals who do not conform or support the policies of certain states are known as "dissidents". Several thinkers have argued that a healthy society needs not only to protect, but also to encourage dissent.
In a 1843 letter to Arnold Ruge, Karl Marx wrote: "if constructing the future and settling everything for all times are not our affair, it is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring to ruthless criticism of all that exists, ruthless both in the sense of not being afraid of the results it arrives at and in the sense of being just as little afraid of conflict with the powers that be".

Today we're playing Public Enemy, a game where you act according to the preferences of the guards while they're looking, and dissenting when they're not. The goal is to stealthily direct enough attention into the revolution that there is enough to overthrow a dictator. Sounds intense, but it's really silly and I suck at it.

Terrorizing Dissent Part 1
Fall in St Paul
Terrorizing Dissent
The Election Cut
Glass Bead Collective, Twin CitiesIndymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
"If civil disobedience becomes framed as 'terrorism' ... that's baloney. And the reason they're waving the T-word around, there's one reason and one reason only, because they want to squash dissent and they want to justify what the police do in the effort of squashing that dissent."
MichelleGross, Communities UnitedAgainstPolice Brutality
'Terrorizing Dissent' shows the results of the $50 million dollars the Department of Homeland Security gave to local authorities for security — a large chunk of which went to weaponize the police — and the $10 million insurance policy contract between the RNCHost Committee and the City of St. Paul, which shattered Minnesota's civil compact between protesters and police.
Effectively, the Republican National Committee provided financial cover for the widespread, organized suppression of dissent. The FBI and Secret Service coordinated with local police to raid homes and work spaces before the RNC even began. On the streets, the government's intimidation strategy shut down peaceful protests through the heavy use of tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, rubber bullets, and other projectiles. This excessive use of force followed months of harassment and surveillance of community activists. At every stage, local officials have refused to release the documentation behind what they did, from the origins of dubious search warrants to joint powers agreements.
The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.

As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Russland vs. Russland, Ivor Stodolsky, 10.04.2015

Art and Mondial Revolts
As in previous times of transnational public upheavals such as 1968 and 1989, artistic advocates of freedom, from circa 2011 onward, have taken their ideas into full public view. One can point to the prominent role artists played in the revolts that shook the Arab world, as much as in the creative milieu of the Indignados/15M movement in Spain, and the global phenomena of Occupy. Dissenting artistic agents of change have sparked public debate in countries as far apart as China, the US and Europe. Russian contemporary art, too, has figured prominently. This presentation takes a historical and comparative look at these synchronicities and their structural parallels. Firstly, it discusses the historical inversion of ideological markers in the post-Soviet period, whic...

Chrono Trigger - Review and Analysis

It took longer than I expected, but here is my Chrono Trigger review at last. Because this is my favorite game of all time I really tried to be inclusive of dissenting points of view, and to analyze the game as fairly as I could. That being said, I also wanted to make it clear why I believe it is the best game ever made. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your own unique perspective in the comments! I'm excited for the coming discussions!

Bassem Youssef and Sara Taksler: "Tickling Giants" | Talks at Google

In the midst of the EgyptianArab Spring, Bassem Youssef leaves his job as a heart surgeon to become a full-time comedian. Dubbed, “The EgyptianJon Stewart,” Bassem creates the satirical show, Al Bernameg (“The Show”). The weekly program quickly becomes the most viewed television program in the Middle East, with 30 million viewers per episode (15 times the viewership of The Daily Show).
Tickling Giants, directed by Sara Taksler, tells the story of political satire in a country where free speech is not settled law. Bassem and his staff must endure physical threats, protests, and legal action, all because of jokes. Tickling Giants follows the team of Al Bernameg as they discover democracy is not easily won. Despite increasing danger, the team at Al Bernameg employs comedy, not violence, to...

J.D.B. v. North Carolina: Oral Argument - March 23, 2011

Facts:
A North Carolina boy identified as J.D.B. was 13-year-old special education student in 2005 when the police showed up at his school to question him about a string of neighborhood burglaries. The police had learned that the boy was in possession of a digital camera that had been reported stolen.The boy was escorted to a school conference room, where he was interrogated in the presence of school officials. J.D.B.'s parents were not contacted, and he was not given any warnings about his rights under the 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona , such as the right to remain silent or to have access to a lawyer. J.D.B. confessed to the crimes, but later sought to have his confession suppressed on the basis that he was never read his Miranda rights. He argued that because he was effectively in...

I have had this game for a week, but I'm so happy I finally got the chance to play it! We Happy Few is about a totalitarian dictatorship that regularly censors news and represses the truth to keep individuals from dissenting. People take "joy", a drug so they're happy all of the time.

Buddha Vision Sinhala 67 Creative Thinking

Thinking is always creative, because it creates either construction or destruction, while thinking itself is created by several contributory factors. The Buddha says that thinking is a product of related causes where one of the causes becomes prominent (adhipati paccaya) at a time. The word as used by the Buddha means creation or construction of thoughts called thinking that forms the content of the mental world that we call our mind.

Buddha Vsion Sinhala 55 Creative Thinking by TS Abeywickrama

Thinking is creating mental images. It also creates both constructions and destructions. The modern world in which we live today is created by positive thinking, but sometimes negative thinking has created destruction by wars and battles. As thinking is a process of positive or negative creation, the Buddha used to name thinking to mean mental creation or construction.

Terrorizing DissentPart 3And Then They Came For The AnarchistsThe Election Cut
Glass Bead Collective, Twin CitiesIndymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
"If civil disobedience becomes framed as 'terrorism' ... that's baloney. And the reason they're waving the T-word around, there's one reason and one reason only, because they want to squash dissent and they want to justify what the police do in the effort of squashing that dissent."
MichelleGross, Communities UnitedAgainstPolice Brutality
'Terrorizing Dissent' shows the results of the $50 million dollars the Department of Homeland Security gave to local authorities for security — a large chunk of which went to weaponize the police — and the $10 million insurance policy contract between the RNCHost Committee and the City of St. Paul, which shattered Minnesota's civil compact between protesters and police.
Effectively, the Republican National Committee provided financial cover for the widespread, organized suppression of dissent. The FBI and Secret Service coordinated with local police to raid homes and work spaces before the RNC even began. On the streets, the government's intimidation strategy shut down peaceful protests through the heavy use of tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, rubber bullets, and other projectiles. This excessive use of force followed months of harassment and surveillance of community activists. At every stage, local officials have refused to release the documentation behind what they did, from the origins of dubious search warrants to joint powers agreements.
The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Thank you guys for watching and thank you for your support.
PART 2 COMING AFTER! :)
I just wanted to make this video to be vulnerable and up front and show that we all struggle and it is OKAY if we, at one time or another, have not had it all together.I am here to show you IT IS POSSIBLE to overcome this and live a "normal" life, whatever that is lol 😅
If you are really struggling, please do not feel ashamed of how you feel or feel bad for asking for help. The first step in recovery is to validate your emotions, then understand why and how to solve it.
If you need immediate help, do not hesitate to call this suicide
hotline: 1-800-273-8255
Here are some resources and tools that have really helped me!
Books:
-Be Here Now, By Ram Dass
-The Universe Has Your Back, By Gabrielle Bernstein
-You Are A Bad Ass, By Jen Sincero
-Braving The Wilderness, By Brene Brown
Other tools that have helped me:
-Yoga
-Meditation
-The Bible and getting involved with a loving and support small group/bible study and going to an evangelical Christian church (a nonjudgmetnal and kind/not cultish one lol)
- Eating a vegan diet
-Working out/exercising (running especially)
-Hiking
-Unplugging from electronics and social media
-Cognitive therapy
-Being in supportive and loving friendships
-Spending less time/walking away from mean/negative/emotionally unhealthy people and relationships
-Starting projects or working on a creative or self-improving goal/project
-Reading
-Going for mid-afternoon walks
-Drinking Tea and cutting down on caffeine
-Getting enough sleep (like really tho)
-Psychoactive medication:
I also want to share that you should not feel ashamed if you feel you need to go to your doctor to discuss getting on a medication to help you. I have had to try several psychoactive medications in rough periods in my life. Most have made me feel terrible and I have found really putting in the work and devoting myself to spiritual and self-improving practices has helped more for me; BUT, they can be great tools to get us through very hard times or help us regain mental balance and clarity. I have only ever found one that has helped me and it really has helped me gain mental re-balancing and clarity. For some people, it may be a long-term solution but it does not have to be. It can be a temporary, life raft. There is nothing wrong with you if you need help :)

Art and Mondial Revolts
As in previous times of transnational public upheavals such as 1968 and 1989, artistic advocates of freedom, from circa 2011 onward, have taken their ideas into full public view. One can point to the prominent role artists played in the revolts that shook the Arab world, as much as in the creative milieu of the Indignados/15M movement in Spain, and the global phenomena of Occupy. Dissenting artistic agents of change have sparked public debate in countries as far apart as China, the US and Europe. Russian contemporary art, too, has figured prominently. This presentation takes a historical and comparative look at these synchronicities and their structural parallels. Firstly, it discusses the historical inversion of ideological markers in the post-Soviet period, which has enabled a global, largely unspoken re-alignment between anti-authoritarian intellectuals. Secondly, it outlines a series of structural parallels between diverse socio-political and cultural contexts, drawing on examples of politicized artists and their work under repressive regimes in Russia, Egypt, Palestine, China and Europe, encountered in the Re-Aligned Project (www.re-aligned.net). If time allows, we will also readdress the issues of the writing of history and the canon and discuss the question of universality with regard to the plural narratives of our time.

Art and Mondial Revolts
As in previous times of transnational public upheavals such as 1968 and 1989, artistic advocates of freedom, from circa 2011 onward, have taken their ideas into full public view. One can point to the prominent role artists played in the revolts that shook the Arab world, as much as in the creative milieu of the Indignados/15M movement in Spain, and the global phenomena of Occupy. Dissenting artistic agents of change have sparked public debate in countries as far apart as China, the US and Europe. Russian contemporary art, too, has figured prominently. This presentation takes a historical and comparative look at these synchronicities and their structural parallels.

It took longer than I expected, but here is my Chrono Trigger review at last. Because this is my favorite game of all time I really tried to be inclusive of dissenting points of view, and to analyze the game as fairly as I could. That being said, I also wanted to make it clear why I believe it is the best game ever made. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your own unique perspective in the comments! I'm excited for the coming discussions!

J.D.B. v. North Carolina: Oral Argument - March 23, 2011

Facts:
A North Carolina boy identified as J.D.B. was 13-year-old special education student in 2005 when the police showed up at his school to question him about a string of neighborhood burglaries. The police had learned that the boy was in possession of a digital camera that had been reported stolen.The boy was escorted to a school conference room, where he was interrogated in the presence of school officials. J.D.B.'s parents were not contacted, and he was not given any warnings about his rights under the 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona , such as the right to remain silent or to have access to a lawyer. J.D.B. confessed to the crimes, but later sought to have his confession suppressed on the basis that he was never read his Miranda rights. He argued that because he was effectively in police custody when he incriminated himself, he was entitled to Miranda protections. In December 2009, the North Carolina Supreme Court held that it could not consider the boy's age or special education status in determining whether he was in custody, and because he was not in custody, he was not entitled to Miranda warnings.
Question:
Should courts consider the age of a juvenile suspect in deciding whether he or she is in custody for Miranda purposes?
Conclusion:
Yes. A divided Supreme Court reversed the lower court order in an opinion by JusticeSonia Sotomayor. The Supreme Court sent the case back to the state court to determine whether the youth was in custody when he was interrogated. (1966). "It is beyond dispute that children will often feel bound to submit to police questioning when an adult in the same circumstances would feel free to leave. Seeing no reason for police officers or courts to blind themselves to that commonsense reality, we hold that a child's age properly informs the Miranda custody analysis," Sotomayor wrote for the majority. Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate JusticesAntonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. "The Court's decision in this case may seem on first consideration to be modest and sensible, but in truth it is neither, Alito writes. "It is fundamentally inconsistent with one of the main justifications for the Miranda rule: the perceived need for a clear rule that can be easily applied in all cases. And today's holding is not needed to protect the constitutional rights of minors who are questioned by the police."

I have had this game for a week, but I'm so happy I finally got the chance to play it! We Happy Few is about a totalitarian dictatorship that regularly censors news and represses the truth to keep individuals from dissenting. People take "joy", a drug so they're happy all of the time. It also appears that some nuclear fallout has impacted the population. I hope you guys enjoy this gameplay! Let me know if you want to see more!

Thinking is always creative, because it creates either construction or destruction, while thinking itself is created by several contributory factors. The Buddha says that thinking is a product of related causes where one of the causes becomes prominent (adhipati paccaya) at a time. The word as used by the Buddha means creation or construction of thoughts called thinking that forms the content of the mental world that we call our mind.

Thinking is creating mental images. It also creates both constructions and destructions. The modern world in which we live today is created by positive thinking, but sometimes negative thinking has created destruction by wars and battles. As thinking is a process of positive or negative creation, the Buddha used to name thinking to mean mental creation or construction.

Identified as one of the ten most important people in the media that nobodys ever met, Andrew Breitbart details why leftward-leaning Hollywood is dangerous for America and why the people who run it are uninteresting, vitriolic, and vicious. Segueing from Hollywood to the Internet, Breitbart explores why the right dominates talk radio and the left seems to do better on the Internet and how the decline of print media is changing the nature of the national political conversation.

Justice Clarence Thomas’ head-scratching, jaw-dropping dissents

In this week’s fiery dissents to Supreme Court rulings on the Affordable Care Act and same-sex marriage, Justice Antonin Scalia has introduced much of the world to his sputtering fury and creative word choices — employing “jiggery pokery” and “mummeries,” for instance.
But just because Justice Clarence Thomas has a reputation for staying silent on the bench, doesn’t mean the polarizing conservative didn’t apply his own brand of knotty logic in his written dissent of the court’s rulings.

Entrepreneurship Saved My Life: Why I Became a Creative Entrepreneur

My Story: How I Became an Entrepreneur and How Entrepreneurship Saved My Life. Not everyone is meant for Entrepreneurship but in my case, it was the only option.
My Entrepreneur Story is different than most. I started and failed entrepreneurship multiple times in my life, but my success as an entrepreneur was largely a matter of survival and a struggle with my own mindset and depression.
In overcoming adversity and those struggles I learned discipline and self-reliance that entrepreneurship requires.

What Video Games Teach Us About U.S. Anti-Establishmentarianism | Nato Thompson

What’s common to most movements of dissent, is that they don’t stay pure for long. Art curator and cultural critic NatoThompson uses gaming to show how the anti-establishment ethos within those games has been commandeered by the very thing it sought to stick it to: “the man”. The same goes for big corporations like Coca Cola and Apple, who position themselves as the ordinary human. Institutions use dissenting art and culture to ensure profits. “The spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment,” says Thompson, and he perceives that as a broad phenomenon. America, especially in 2017, is deeply anti-establishment. Thompson wonders whether that once-useful ethos has tipped over from constructive to destructive. Nato Thompson’s most recent book is Culture as Weapon: The Art of Influence in Everyday Life (goo.gl/SFMVjI).

I don't know if you've ever played video games but I play a lot of them. And there's a certain kind of ethos that's in a lot of video games, particularly those games like Call of Duty and the first person shooter games that it's important to pay attention to because I feel like they really hit the spirit of the age. Or even games like Grand Theft Auto, these are the biggest selling video games by the way. They're like Beyoncé of video games. But in those games basically you're this fighter who everyone has betrayed. Like the U.S. military betrays you, your family betrays you, everyone is out to get you, and even your close military buddy or whoever. The storylines are always that ultimately everyone is screwing you. And certainly it is a safe position for a video game because it's safe across the entire ideological spectrum. But I also think it pinpoints a certain kind of mood of the era that antiestablishment runs deep across so many currents and everyone's got their idea of who the man is.
You look at even like a Coca-Cola ad and they'll encourage you to go in your cubicle and throw out your papers and get out there and just be free. And so even like corporate America is encouraging us to fight the man. Like you even look at like the Mac ads and they've got like it's like do you remember those old ads and it was like the dweebish PC computer guy and then the Mac guy was like this kind of Red Hot Chili Peppers hipster kid and he's like hey. He's the individual; it's freedom. But I think even then even the spirit of anti-establishment gets into the establishment. And so just to say because these big video games like Call of Duty they're mega industries, they're not like some scrappy antiestablishment thing. They've got people that work on it the size of major films like Jurassic Park, big money. But everyone's anti-establishment and certainly the mood in this country is deeply antiestablishment. I think while true, it makes it very difficult to build things in that particular psychological climate.

Samut Voice of Dissent Commander Deck Tech

Samut has taken over as my humans tribal commander. She has added a color, some aggression, and a lot of synergy to an already fun deck. Most people can see the tribal synergies but I'm in love with the taste of combo that humans bring. You can also be rewarded for your powerful turns because Samut grants haste. The manabase can be a little tricky because the deck skews so hard into white. That is why I have a lot of dual lands that are W/G and W/R but not G/R. There are so many possible cards for this deck. I hope that some of my choices sparks your curiosity.

Sony & The Interview - This is Why We Need Satire

Sony cancelled the theatrical release for The Interview, giving into the "Guardians of Peace" hacking group that is somehow related to North Korea. But what does this surrender really say? What is the point of art, movies and creative efforts , and why is it necessary to society that we have the ability to say things some people will probably dislike? Kim Horcher explains why we need dissenting (even silly) voices, and why silencing them is a recipe for disaster in the NerdRage.

Terrorizing Dissent -p3- And then they came for the anarchists

Terrorizing DissentPart 3And Then They Came For The AnarchistsThe Election Cut
Glass Bead Collective, Twin CitiesIndymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
"If civil disobedience becomes framed as 'terrorism' ... that's baloney. And the reason they're waving the T-word around, there's one reason and one reason only, because they want to squash dissent and they want to justify what the police do in the effort of squashing that dissent."
MichelleGross, Communities UnitedAgainstPolice Brutality
'Terrorizing Dissent' shows the results of the $50 million dollars the Department of Homeland Security gave to local authorities for security — a large chunk of which went to weaponize the police — and the $10 million insurance policy contract between the RNCHost Committee and the City of St. Paul, which shattered Minnesota's civil compact between protesters and police.
Effectively, the Republican National Committee provided financial cover for the widespread, organized suppression of dissent. The FBI and Secret Service coordinated with local police to raid homes and work spaces before the RNC even began. On the streets, the government's intimidation strategy shut down peaceful protests through the heavy use of tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, rubber bullets, and other projectiles. This excessive use of force followed months of harassment and surveillance of community activists. At every stage, local officials have refused to release the documentation behind what they did, from the origins of dubious search warrants to joint powers agreements.
The Republican Party's efforts to control the message and crush dissenting voices were led by one of the top local Republicans, troubled Ramsey CountySheriffBob Fletcher, who personally spearheaded the "pre-emptive raid" strategy and spun the media by claiming captured household items were weapons (most notably, the buckets of recycled grey water he dubbed "urine"). At every stage, from fake urine to riot threats, messages of fear were distributed to chill Minnesotans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Just days before Fletcher launched high-profile preemptive raids against protesters, two of his closest aides, Mark Naylon and Timothy Rehak, were found guilty on federal charges after they attempted to steal $6,000 in an FBI sting. To shore up his murky political future, Fletcher staged an authoritarian spectacle unparalleled in Minnesota history.
"We have unlawful search and seizure. We have unlawful arrest without probably cause.... Mass arrest and detention without probable cause.... Then you have excessive force. Spraying people point blank range with mace who aren't resisting and who are peaceful is excessive force. Beating people in jail is excessive force... Those all should be criminal complaints. They'll never be charged as such by any prosecutor."
BruceNestor, National Lawyers Guild
As local Democratic officials cautiously stepped back, Fletcher put himself in front of a classic "security theater" media campaign to create a non-existent enemy, equate civil disobedience with terrorism, and move in to attack peaceful protests. This plan culminated with the blocking and flashbang bombing of a peaceful march organized by anti-war activists on September 4th as John McCain delivered his acceptance speech at the Xcel Center.
Within weeks, John McCain's campaign turned to attacking Barack Obama on the same grounds as the RNC Welcoming Committee, a group that provided logistical help such as housing, food and a convergence center for demonstrators.
This rapidly produced "election cut" shows how the government — even in a liberal state like Minnesota — easily rolled over to domestic militarization and criminal abandonment of Constitutional freedoms. As the Republican National Convention paved the way for a fall of terrifying national instability and financial chaos, Americans need to know about the techniques used to silence Minnesota.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent" has been released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this film.

Blackout Ep. 4: Leaks from Eritrea, Africa's North Korea

Eritrea is the most censored country in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Sans Frontières. Often referred to as Africa's North Korea, the Eritrean government controls the flow of information with vigilance, restricting any dissenting voices from reaching the people.
As a result, Eritrean activists are forced to get creative. Through pirate radio, cold calls, messages on banknotes and posters put up in the dead of night, dissidents find ways to generate the only resistance they can.
VICENews follows members of the Eritrean diaspora community in Europe as they run radio stations, maintain online opposition sites and help to organize those still in Eritrea.

How I am Overcoming an Anxiety Disorder

Thank you guys for watching and thank you for your support.
PART 2 COMING AFTER! :)
I just wanted to make this video to be vulnerable and up front and show that we all struggle and it is OKAY if we, at one time or another, have not had it all together.I am here to show you IT IS POSSIBLE to overcome this and live a "normal" life, whatever that is lol 😅
If you are really struggling, please do not feel ashamed of how you feel or feel bad for asking for help. The first step in recovery is to validate your emotions, then understand why and how to solve it.
If you need immediate help, do not hesitate to call this suicide
hotline: 1-800-273-8255
Here are some resources and tools that have really helped me!
Books:
-Be Here Now, By Ram Dass
-The Universe Has Your Back, By Gabrielle Bernstein
-You Are A Bad Ass, By Jen Sincero
-Braving The Wilderness, By Brene Brown
Other tools that have helped me:
-Yoga
-Meditation
-The Bible and getting involved with a loving and support small group/bible study and going to an evangelical Christian church (a nonjudgmetnal and kind/not cultish one lol)
- Eating a vegan diet
-Working out/exercising (running especially)
-Hiking
-Unplugging from electronics and social media
-Cognitive therapy
-Being in supportive and loving friendships
-Spending less time/walking away from mean/negative/emotionally unhealthy people and relationships
-Starting projects or working on a creative or self-improving goal/project
-Reading
-Going for mid-afternoon walks
-Drinking Tea and cutting down on caffeine
-Getting enough sleep (like really tho)
-Psychoactive medication:
I also want to share that you should not feel ashamed if you feel you need to go to your doctor to discuss getting on a medication to help you. I have had to try several psychoactive medications in rough periods in my life. Most have made me feel terrible and I have found really putting in the work and devoting myself to spiritual and self-improving practices has helped more for me; BUT, they can be great tools to get us through very hard times or help us regain mental balance and clarity. I have only ever found one that has helped me and it really has helped me gain mental re-balancing and clarity. For some people, it may be a long-term solution but it does not have to be. It can be a temporary, life raft. There is nothing wrong with you if you need help :)

Russland vs. Russland, Ivor Stodolsky, 10.04.2015

Art and Mondial Revolts
As in previous times of transnational public upheavals such as 1968 and 1989, artistic advocates of freedom, from circa 2011 onward, have taken their ideas into full public view. One can point to the prominent role artists played in the revolts that shook the Arab world, as much as in the creative milieu of the Indignados/15M movement in Spain, and the global phenomena of Occupy. Dissenting artistic agents of change have sparked public debate in countries as far apart as China, the US and Europe. Russian contemporary art, too, has figured prominently. This presentation takes a historical and comparative look at these synchronicities and their structural parallels. Firstly, it discusses the historical inversion of ideological markers in the post-Soviet period, which has enabled a global, largely unspoken re-alignment between anti-authoritarian intellectuals. Secondly, it outlines a series of structural parallels between diverse socio-political and cultural contexts, drawing on examples of politicized artists and their work under repressive regimes in Russia, Egypt, Palestine, China and Europe, encountered in the Re-Aligned Project (www.re-aligned.net). If time allows, we will also readdress the issues of the writing of history and the canon and discuss the question of universality with regard to the plural narratives of our time.
Ivor Stodolsky is a curator, writer and the co-founding di- rector of the ‘Perpetuum Mobile’ curatorial group based in Germany, Finland and France. He actively curates exhibitions, conferences and events where art and politics are discussed internationally. Engaged in practical, theoretical and literary fields, he is also an editor of diverse publications and lms. Recent initiatives include ‘Pluriculturalism’ (Mod- erna Museet, Malmø); the newspaper ‘The Square’, ‘Back To Square 1’ and ‘To The Square 2’ (CheckpointHelsinki); ‘The FourthRomaGypsyPavilion’ (Cineromani Berlin); ‘Re-Public’ (Urb Festival, Kiasma, Helsinki); ‘Re-Aligned Art from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus’ (Tromsø Kunstforening); ‘Re-Aligned/ MediaImpact’ (Moscow Biennale), as well as many other ‘Perpetuum Mobile’ projects. ‘Perpetuum Mobile’ is a curatorial vehicle he founded together with Marita Muukkonen in 2007. Its ongoing umbrella-projects include the ‘Re-Aligned Project’, the ‘Perpetual Pavilion’, ‘Residencies for Artists at Risk’, ‘PerpetuumLabs’, ‘The Arts Assembly’, ‘SINO-FI’ and the ‘OutsideInsiders Project’ (Moderna Museet, Malmø).

Chrono Trigger - Review and Analysis

It took longer than I expected, but here is my Chrono Trigger review at last. Because this is my favorite game of all time I really tried to be inclusive of dissenting points of view, and to analyze the game as fairly as I could. That being said, I also wanted to make it clear why I believe it is the best game ever made. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your own unique perspective in the comments! I'm excited for the coming discussions!

Bassem Youssef and Sara Taksler: "Tickling Giants" | Talks at Google

In the midst of the EgyptianArab Spring, Bassem Youssef leaves his job as a heart surgeon to become a full-time comedian. Dubbed, “The EgyptianJon Stewart,” Bassem creates the satirical show, Al Bernameg (“The Show”). The weekly program quickly becomes the most viewed television program in the Middle East, with 30 million viewers per episode (15 times the viewership of The Daily Show).
Tickling Giants, directed by Sara Taksler, tells the story of political satire in a country where free speech is not settled law. Bassem and his staff must endure physical threats, protests, and legal action, all because of jokes. Tickling Giants follows the team of Al Bernameg as they discover democracy is not easily won. Despite increasing danger, the team at Al Bernameg employs comedy, not violence, to comment on hypocrisy in media, politics, and religion.

J.D.B. v. North Carolina: Oral Argument - March 23, 2011

Facts:
A North Carolina boy identified as J.D.B. was 13-year-old special education student in 2005 when the police showed up at his school to question him about a string of neighborhood burglaries. The police had learned that the boy was in possession of a digital camera that had been reported stolen.The boy was escorted to a school conference room, where he was interrogated in the presence of school officials. J.D.B.'s parents were not contacted, and he was not given any warnings about his rights under the 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona , such as the right to remain silent or to have access to a lawyer. J.D.B. confessed to the crimes, but later sought to have his confession suppressed on the basis that he was never read his Miranda rights. He argued that because he was effectively in police custody when he incriminated himself, he was entitled to Miranda protections. In December 2009, the North Carolina Supreme Court held that it could not consider the boy's age or special education status in determining whether he was in custody, and because he was not in custody, he was not entitled to Miranda warnings.
Question:
Should courts consider the age of a juvenile suspect in deciding whether he or she is in custody for Miranda purposes?
Conclusion:
Yes. A divided Supreme Court reversed the lower court order in an opinion by JusticeSonia Sotomayor. The Supreme Court sent the case back to the state court to determine whether the youth was in custody when he was interrogated. (1966). "It is beyond dispute that children will often feel bound to submit to police questioning when an adult in the same circumstances would feel free to leave. Seeing no reason for police officers or courts to blind themselves to that commonsense reality, we hold that a child's age properly informs the Miranda custody analysis," Sotomayor wrote for the majority. Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate JusticesAntonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. "The Court's decision in this case may seem on first consideration to be modest and sensible, but in truth it is neither, Alito writes. "It is fundamentally inconsistent with one of the main justifications for the Miranda rule: the perceived need for a clear rule that can be easily applied in all cases. And today's holding is not needed to protect the constitutional rights of minors who are questioned by the police."

CENSOR EVERYTHING! - We Happy Few

I have had this game for a week, but I'm so happy I finally got the chance to play it! We Happy Few is about a totalitarian dictatorship that regularly censors news and represses the truth to keep individuals from dissenting. People take "joy", a drug so they're happy all of the time. It also appears that some nuclear fallout has impacted the population. I hope you guys enjoy this gameplay! Let me know if you want to see more!
